The 2012-13 campaign was a season of solid mid-table stability for Chievo Verona as the Gialloblu secured a respectable 12th-place finish in Serie A, marking their fifth consecutive season in the top flight. Leading the line was the prolific French striker Cyril Théréau, whose crucial 11 league goals were decisive in anchoring the attack and keeping the team comfortably clear of the relegation zone. It was a successful year built on the efforts of veteran captain Sergio Pellissier and emerging talents like Alberto Paloschi, a campaign remembered fondly for its consistency and for securing Chievo's established place in the Italian elite.
